ROOM 4

[dramatispersonae]

[ You are standing in a circle in a large, open field. ]

[ ....the people standing with you are not your teammates. ]

[ However, on the ground in the middle of the circle is a silver camphor leaf. ]

Comments

YOUR ITEM

[dramatispersonae]

The camphor leaf glitters in the muted sunlight. If you touch it, you will receive a message in a voice that sounds like Mikage of Sterling:

Hey! We know that sometimes these games can be kinda scary, and that you might feel like you're alone during them. But we want to let you all know: you're not alone. There will always be people to support you.

You realize that this item can be used to dull or relieve some of the pain that you receive during the game in Mulan's rounds. All you have to do is whisper what you want healed to the leaf, and it will provide at least some relief, once during the game.

Round 1

[dramatispersonae]

As you walk through the field, you find an open clearing. In the clearing, people keel -- and they stare at you with worried, scared eyes. These are people you know.

Leah. Star. Rider. Haru. Thunder. Cassie. Mimori. Bucky. Nova.

In each of your hands, you now hold a sword. Mulan's voice echoes through the fields, but it sounds far away and hollow.

Are you willing to kill them, if ordered to do so by someone in authority?
Would you be willing to, even if the punishment was death?
And if you are not, would you be willing to take the punishment onto yourself on their behalf, even if it was death?

You understand that you may choose separately, or make the decision as a group. However, Mulan will value your discussion above everything else -- not talking to anyone about what choice to make will garner you a bad result.

WHERE IS MY TEAM?? ]

Re: discussion

[yoloath]

For myself, I would not do so, and would willingly take it upon myself. But I will not answer this on my own until all else have decided.

Re: discussion

[semiurge]

What? No . . .

[wait where is my team]

Re: discussion

[selfequipped]

I don't really give a lot of damns about authority, especially those who ask me to kill my loved ones.

Besides, I don't kill.

[his heart is beating fast in his ears as he turns to look for his team in a circle.]

Grizzly—?

Re: discussion

[ihulk]

Uhhhh. Can we not?

Re: discussion

[thisgoddelivers]

What the hell is this suppose to be?

[shaking the sword]

How am I suppose to use this?

Re: discussion

[evildetector]

Yeah.

[quickly and quietly]

Not letting her die.

[and then, hastily-]

Or, uh- anyone.

Re: discussion

[selfequipped]

[hand on shoulder]

Hey.

Re: discussion

[selfequipped]

Put it down ...

Re: discussion

[thisgoddelivers]

Why would I do that?

Re: discussion

[badnewsboy]

[just gonna, stand a little closer.]

Re: discussion

[penalizing]

...This has to be a joke, right?

Re: discussion

[semiurge]

[shakes his head]

This is going to suck.

Re: discussion

[masterofmystery]

...What else do they expect us to answer?

Re: discussion

[badnewsboy]

One of poor authority to give such an ultimatum.

[distastefully.]

Re: discussion

[yoloath]

[he smiles, but it's grim and brief.]

I do not claim that I would willingly die for anyone, for I know I would not be so selfless. But for these, I would.

Re: discussion

[masterofmystery]

[someone is here, hello. not that he is very talkative.]

Re: discussion

[semiurge]

Hey, so this is a surprise.

Re: discussion

[masterofmystery]

It's the answer most people'd figure, I reckon.

Re: discussion

[yoloath]

A good question; I would imagine the truth is what is sought, whether it appeal to them or no.
